I used the apache jakarta commons net package to get telnet going
from within MXJ. A quick glance indicates that ftp is also supported
there.
r.
I'd suggest that route also.
There are unsupported ftp handlers from sun, but they're liable to
vanish without apology.

Thanks, I got it working. Unfortunetly Max grinds to a hault whilst it's busy downloading/uploading! Don't understand why though as Max is quite happy if I have some other ftp program running at the same time.
Hi Simon,
It'll be using blocking sockets - that is, it halts the whole thread
when waiting for data from the socket. Solution: use a separate thread.
Other FTP programs, as separate processes, run in a different thread by
definition (hence the lack of blocking).
In FTP apps it is quite common to have one thread that handles the
socket communication for control messages and another for the data
transfer (as these use different sockets).
